At the junctions of rivers.
Often towns and trading posts were located near certain geographic features so that they would be easily accessible. These geographical features were rivers, and the ocean.
rivers were major transpotation routes. it was easier for the fur traders to paddle on canoes on the river instead of carrying the heavy cargo on their backs.

The Inuit trading posts were mostly located in Canada. Inuits are aboriginal people of Canada who migrated south through the Americas several thousand years ago. There are no Inuit trading posts in the US.

Trading posts and towns were often located near major waterways, such as rivers or coastlines, for access to transportation and trade routes. They were also situated at crossroads or junctions where different trade routes intersected, facilitating the exchange of goods and resources. Additionally, proximity to natural resources like forests, mountains, or fertile land played a role in determining the location of trading posts and towns.
It was where the HBC built trading posts at the mouths of rivers, on the shore of Hudson Bay; and had the First Nations trappers and traders travel long distances to bring their furs to the trading posts to exchange them for trade goods. - any help? ^_^

Fur trading posts were established along Midwest rivers and lakes following the routes of explorers Lewis and Clark. Their expedition, which took place from 1804 to 1806, provided crucial information about the geography and resources of the region, leading to increased interest in fur trading. The information gathered by these explorers helped facilitate the establishment of trade networks and posts in the Midwest.
